Wanted: Home for Adventurous Robots

Posted by timothy on from the that's-a-lot-of-land dept.

mr.crutch writes "According to an article by the Associated Press, Carnegie Mellon University is actively seeking at least 600 acres of abandoned land in Western Pennsylvania on which to test robots developed by the National Robotics Engineering Consortium. Land speculators may want to contact real estate agents in the Pittsburgh area to cash in!"

    I'm also seeking 600 acres of abandoned land, preferably in Orange County, California. With the average new home running over $500K in my zip code, I might just be able to pay off my Mastercard bill.

    (And, no, there's no way I could possibly move into my neighborhoood today - so don't ask to borrow any money, OK?).
